The purpose of this exercise is to experiment with the process networks (PN) model of computation. A secondary purpose is to become familiar with the use of Ptolemy II. This exercise requires using the version of Ptolemy II in the CVS repository. See using Eclipse with Ptolemy II for instructions on how to set this up (using Eclipse). Then see the tutorial on using Vergil, the Ptolemy II GUI.
The problem statement is described in the PDF document.
